COMPLETING THIS FORM
We will use the information that you give us on this form to update your disability report
information for your appeal. We will use the form to update your disability information since
you last completed a disability report. Please complete as much of the form as you can. If
you need help, your interviewer will help you finish it. If you have an appointment for an
interview by telephone, have the form ready to discuss with us when we call you. If you have
an appointment for an interview in our office, bring the completed form with you or mail it
ahead of time, if you were told to do so. If you have access to the Internet, you may access
the Disability Report Form - Appeal instructions at http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-3441.html
.
If you are filling out the form for someone else, please provide information about him or her.
When a question refers to "you," "your," or the "Disabled Person," it refers to the person who
is applying for or has been entitled to disability benefits.
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS FORM

ABOUT YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
If you have any medical records or copies of prescriptions at home, send them to our office
with your completed form or, if you are having an interview in our office, bring them and any
medicine containers with you. If you need the records back, tell us and we will photocopy
them and return them to you.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS FOR ANY MEDICAL
RECORDS THAT YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE. With your permission, we will do that for
you. The information we ask for on this form tells us to whom we should send a request for
medical and other records. If you cannot remember the names and addresses of your
medical sources, you may be able to get that information from the telephone book, medical
bills, prescriptions, or prescription containers.

The Privacy Act
Sections 205(a), 223(d), and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act authorize us to collect
the information on this form. We will use the information you provide on this form to make
a decision on your claim or case. Your response to this request is voluntary. However,
failure to provide all or part of the information could prevent us from making an accurate
and timely decision on your claim or case.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining your
living arrangements. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of Social
Security programs. We may also disclose information to another person or to another
agency in accordance with approved routine uses, which include but are not limited to the
following: (1) to enable a third party or an agency to assist Social Security in establishing
rights to Special Veterans Benefits; (2) to comply with Federal laws requiring the release
of information from Social Security records (e.g., to the Department of Veterans Affairs);
(3) to make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance
programs at the Federal, State, and local level; and (4) to facilitate statistical research,
audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity of Social Security
programs.
We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching
programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local
government agencies. Information from these matching programs can be used to establish
or verify a person's eligibility for federally funded or administered benefit programs and for
repayment of payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and our programs
and systems, is available online at www.socialsecurity.gov or at any local Social Security
office.
